I am definitely mad!!!
I have signed up for the Race for Life, which is exactly 8 weeks today!!!
I have bought new trainers, and have been wearing them to make sure they are comfortable, bought appropriate "sport" underwear, and have some suitable (comfortable) clothes too.
I have set up an on-line sponsorship page, http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/MadLinda which anyone can access and donate if they wish to. I am also going to use the sponsor sheets, as I know lots of people who don't have online access. My initial target is £100, but I am hoping to better that.
There are a group of us from work taking part, and I'm not sure yet if we are going to walk or jog, but either way I am getting some practice for both options.
Knitting for me has taken a back seat yet again, as I have so many small things to make or finish for other people. I also need to make a start on my daughter's wrap next, as that's for her birthday in June.

Good for you Linda, I walked the Race for Life last year with my friend who was in remission from breast cancer, in the most torrential rain I'd ever experienced. I truely knew what soaked to the skin meant that day, but it was a great experience and we still laugh about it today. We were 10 minutes late for the start and finished last but didn't care a jot!
Thank you so much Mary - now I know your name!!!
Every £1 helps, and the giftaid is great too.
I am looking at fairy deelyboppers for everyone, but am not sure yet how many of us are running (WALKING!?!)
I am the oldest, and would prefer to run, but will go with the flow!!
I'll keep you updated via the blog!!
